Follow The Cops Back Home

The call to arms was never true
Time to embody here’s to you
I’ll tell you stories bruised and blue
Drum machines and landslides
Just one more round before we’re through
More psychedelic yuppie blue
It’s such a silly thing to do
Now we’re stuck on rewind

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
Rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
Let’s take a ride and push it through
Suspended in animation blue
Blame it on apartheid
Let’s spend the night in Jimmy Choo's
I’ll give you coats and cheap shampoo
I’ll give you nothing else to do
Now we’re stuck on rewind

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
Rob their houses
Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
Rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
I’m medicated, how are you?
Let’s take a dive swim right through
Sophisticated point of view

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back homeAnd
Rob their houses
Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back homeAnd
Rob their houses

Country Feedback

This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop.
These clothes,These clothes don’t fit us right
I’m to blame
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair cut tight and high
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out
We’ve been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paper weight,
junk garage
Winter rain,
a honey potCrazy,
all the lovers have been tagged.
A hotline, a wanted ad
It’s crazy what you could’ve had
It’s crazy what you could’ve had
It’s crazy what you could’ve had
I need this
I need this
